Block for Home Page:
In April, we are focusing on "Bedtime Basics". Our challenge for April is to send in a picture (or two) of your favorite miniature bed or bedroom. We can't wait to see your creative and cozy designs! To participate, please send in your picture(s) and a brief description to Preble McDaniel at smallpackages@comcast.net and we will post it HERE. Here is Debbie Colombo's swan bed made and dressed by Suzanne Russo in 1992.
If you send in a picture, please allow us a few days to get it added to the challenge page!
We also have some workshops coming up. Although some of these are sold out, we have more coming soon. For these and other Create-ive Offerings click here.
For information on all Create Shares, look here. We have this one scheduled soon.
Have you missed one of our wonderful Create Shares? They are all available to be watched here on our Videos page.
Have you had a chance to look at the NAME store recently? Souvenirs are available to purchase from the latest Convention. As well as many of our past t-shirts.
If you haven’t dropped in to one of the live zoom sessions you have no idea how much fun you can have playing minis in the comfort of your own home with online friends.
Check the calendar for times and links.

Camp Block:
This July, Create is heading for an Alpine Adventure!
Join us for Camp Make-A-Mini as we take to the mountains to build charming A-frame style houses. This year, we have two fantastic designs to choose from, created by talented miniaturists Preble McDaniel and Alician Pearce — you can check them out here.
Camp Make-A-Mini kicks off on Saturday, July 12, and runs through Saturday, July 19, wrapping up with a cozy closing campfire.
Throughout the week, we'll have puzzles, games, tutorials, and chances to win some amazing prizes!
Don't miss out — come build, play, and adventure with us on this unforgettable Alpine journey!
Save for later:
Final update is due to Debbie Colombo by December 31, 2025. Please send in a picture or two and a brief description of your progress. Please note: You do not have to finish your CYLC to qualify for the prize but you do have to send in submission reports every quarter including the last one.
Have you looked at our extensive photo gallery lately? We have eye candy galore for all our past challenges and many of our Create-ive Offerings.
Have you seen our "Did You Know?" page? There are many clever ideas on this page, but if you have another idea, please submit it!
Do you have something to share with us as a Create Shares? Would you be willing to show us your collection via zoom or a slide show? Or do you have a miniature talent you can demonstrate? Please contact Debbie Colombo.
